About

My experience covers leading and building an international team of 40+ people, being a one man army, and everything in between. Spending the last 7 years at the front line of a rapidly growing business has taught me a great deal about people, leadership, strategy, innovation and excellent customer service - just to name a few. I thrive in an environment of varying challenges allowing me to flex my critical thinking, creativity and problem solving muscles. I love utopian sci-fi, especially Star Trek and it’s promise of a bright future. I have just rediscovered my love for Lego and I enjoy building scenes to represent my other interests like winter sports and scuba diving. Lastly I am passionate about understanding and exploring the world and its history through travelling, watching documentaries or listening to my heroes in business.
